Thanks

That looks great! Will you be applying a finish to yours or leaving it as-is?Thank you for your comments.1. Moving from a 3" to a 4" bottle base in my build (at the last minute) caused the concern you noticed on the sides. For the majority of bottles that won't be an issue as they will still fit comfortably. But I see how that is a concern asthestically, and will add your notes. 2. Good suggestion. I think the only knot I had was positioned in the center of a circle :)3. I'll double check what I trimmed. It shouldn't need to fully lean, the goal is to keep the air bubble away from the cork; so it doesn't dry out. Shouldn't take much of an angle to accomplish that.4. Excellent suggestion. Mine were partially predrilled, from the counter-sink bit. I do seem to recall that ...

Mine were partially predrilled, from the counter-sink bit. I do seem to recall that step being a pain to get them square but the clamps seemed to hold for me.5. Thanks. I'll edit those sections (and the intro) to reflect the appropriate counts for only a single rack.Do you think the "Prototype" section added any value, or should I remove it to avoid confusion?

Kreg claims they're strong enough, and I wouldn't argue with them. I only have the Kreg R3. I think there is an R5 or K5 that is recommended for 2x4s. Probably larger diameter screws. You could also find wooden plugs to fill in the holes from the counter sink screws (I just aimed for them being flush).

Thanks. I suggested we both dress up as minions for that photo, but she vetoed that :)

Thanks. Last year I saw one of the neighbor kids hanging out with the Thanksgiving minions I made :)

Thanks

Thank you. We get lots of compliments from neighbors and visitors.
